We are the Friends of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail

The Friends of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail send you the warmest wishes of the season. May you, your family and your friends enjoy good health and happy times throughout the New Year.

Please watch for Spring events on the LVRT and if you are a snowmobiler, cross-country skier or winter trail walker it looks like another banner season for being on the trail in whatever form you choose. Enjoy and help us continue the support of communities and the trail you have come to expect from the Friends.

The Board of Directors of the FLVRT
